Lab: Using A World Map
This exercise contains 36 questions students must answer using a World Map and a textbook.My students used a 1997 desk sized Rand Mcnally laminated world map. This world map has numbered Latitudes separated by 15-degrees and Longitudes separated by 30-degrees. The laminated map is also a Robinson Projection. Their textbook describes the differences/limitations of Robinson and Mercator maps.I prefered my students to work in groups to answer these questions and then I collected one-Lab from each g

Latitude and Longitude Lab
This simple lab gives students a change to practice the important skill of finding locations using latitude and longitude. While some may find this is a basic skill, I always find that my students have very little experience finding coordinates themselves! Begin with a review of longitude and latitude, and then reinforce with this lab.To do this activity, I recommend using globes (I use mini 7 inch globes!) rather than a paper map. Since I don't have 30 globes laying around, I also have students
